On the other stuff: Well its the characterization of the CLUB FOR
GROUTH and the Federalist Society in driving moderates out of the
Republican party, as "... tinfoil-hat type of stuff..." grates. The
Club for Growth is one of the best known, richest rightwing PACs. Here
is a link to an "On Point" show that dealt with the Club, and Specter.
Thats not "tin foil" or Dave's paranoia.

As to what Richard knows/believes: Richard operates on a few levels.
First, his discourse leaves traces of one who info grazes 1-2 levels
beyond the casual. But much that he writes on ROFF is spin.
Bottomline, I would not believe Richard is ignorant of the Club for
Growth. He knows that to most people, "Club for Growth" has no
significance. So as a debating tactic, he can dismiss it as an arcane
irrelevance, and be in tune with some of what most people already
believe. Its a standard debater's tactic, and a fave of spinning
wingers.
Complexity and conspiracy are different things.

Anyway, catch one or two for the Gipper.
